i just reinstalled my redhat fedora. i have 2 network cards, one is set
to 192.168.0.2. this card is connected with the DLink DSL300.
when i type the modems address in a browser 192.168.0.1, a page comes
up where i can put in my login details. i click connect and i get the
connected status. i can see the downstream data, up stream, it
displayes my static ip address, DNS, howlong i am connected...

but for some reason i am not really connected. i go to another browser
window, no internet. i ping several address, no return.

how can that be. did i forget something obviousy? can the modem be
faulty?

I take it by 'modem' you mean the D-link DSL 300?

I am confused as to what the 'second network card' is.
Anyway.

Open a terminal window and su to root and do this

tempest:~# route -n

you should see something like what is below, and provided that the router is connected to a valid live DSL session and you have set it to do NAT then all should work,

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

If the entry for 0.0.0.0 is missing you need to add the default route.
You may also need to set up /etc/resolv.conf to add in some useable DNS servers.


any help appreciated, Dimitri
